Yard Police Are Ready to Repulse Any Big Red Invasions This Week

Sergeant Toomey of the University police intimated last night that precautions will be taken against any possible raids by a vanguard of Cornell students on the holiday tomorrow or later in the week. While he would not reveal what preparations were being made and admitted that "we catch them (invaders) quite often but not always" Toomey, who for many years has been the traditional "yard cop," added, "but it's easy to dress agents in plain clothes, you know."

Two years ago, on a football season weekday holiday, Brown students took advantage of the vacation to come up from Providence and paint the name of their college on the pillars of Widener Library. The raiders were caught and punished by Brown authorities.

Toomey echoed Dean Bender's warning that any Harvard men caught in similar demonstrations at other colleges would face severe punishment, and decried "the school spirit that has its outlet in the defacement of property."
